(rpm -q yum) If not the latest, try manually updating to it and then try again: # rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/yum-2 .1.12-0.fc3.noarch.rpm Paul. I solved it by following the instructions at http://www.charlescurley.com/yum/upgrading.html#AEN268 3.2.2. Clean Out Old Headers You are about to change out your update repository. The first thing to do is clean out your headers and packages. This will help avoid confusion later on. To get absolutely everything: rm -r /var/cache/yum/* Thanks for the replys -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
